Is pretty funny that he his ragging on the wrong guy (since Qc did not start anything on the subject) though.
@radroach just bumped the milk jug thread. I bet he didn't even try making shims.

He did in fact make the first mention of lane splitting.

Riders splitting lanes are significantly less likely to be rear ended, the most common type of distracted driving accident.

Not trying to get too off topic but, as a motorcyclist, lane splitting is something I'd like to see become legal nationwide since all data suggests that, when done responsibly, it is safer for riders.

And you answered my question. The first and last time I tried lane splitting was down in California, while riding my brothers Honda Valkyrie. The technique just wasn't for me - I needed the a full lane to control that machine -

OMG you're right! I apologize. There are three zealots in the thread, and they sound so much alike that I got them mixed up.

Memo to self:

Casually bring up lane-splitting as often as possible.

I gave proof.
Shaky isn't really all that bad once you get to know his idiosyncrasies.

Five paragraphs on lane splitting, even though you "digress lane splitting has nothing to do with this accident and wouldn't have prevented it." You people are worse than PETA.

Forget to take your meds this morning? Calm down a bit bud


1) I'm not a lane splitting zealot, but I do find that the studies don't lie that it is safer
2) I only brought it up because you can tell by your typing your triggered for some reason
3) I was simply explaining how if it were a motorcycle they probably wouldn't be in that position if they were lane splitting properly




Calm down, you're normally not this pissy
